Hoʻomoe ʻo FAA a me NASA i ka honua no Unmanned Aircraft Systems

ka Ka Hoʻomalu Kūleʻa Kūʻē (FAA), NASA, a me kā lākou mau hoa i loko o kahi papahana hoʻokele e kau nei i ke kahua no kahi Lewa Lewa ʻole Pūnaehana hoʻokele kaʻa (UAS), hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia pehea e hana ai ia ʻōnaehana i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

ʻO nā hōʻike hōʻikeʻike, i alakaʻi ʻia ma 3 mau wahi hoʻāʻo ʻokoʻa i koho ʻia e ka FAA no ka UAS Traffic Management Pilot Program (UPP), hōʻike i nā hana drone he nui, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) hiki ke mālama pono ʻia ma nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa (ma lalo o 400 kapuaʻi) ma ka mokulele kahi i hāʻawi ʻole ʻia ai nā lawelawe mokulele mokulele FAA.

Ke piʻi nei ka noi no ka hoʻohana drone haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, ua hana pū ka FAA, NASA a me nā hoa UPP e hoʻokō i kēia mau hana me ka palekana a me ka maikaʻi.

I Ianuali, ua koho ka FAA i 3 mau kahua ho'āʻo UPP: ka Mid Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP) ma Virginia Tech, ka Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS) ma Grand Forks, North Dakota, a me ka Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS) ma. Las Vegas, Nevada.

ʻO ka hōʻike mua, ka mea i pili i ka Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP), i mālama ʻia ma Virginia Tech ma Iune 13.

I ka wā o ka hōʻikeʻike, ua hāʻawi nā mokulele drone kaʻawale i nā pūʻolo, aʻo i nā holoholona hihiu, nānā i kahi māla kulina a uhi i kahi hihia hoʻokolokolo no ka TV. Ma muli o ke kokoke ʻana o nā mokulele i kahi mokulele, ua waiho ʻia nā hoʻolālā mokulele ʻehā ma o ka mea hoʻolako lawelawe a loaʻa ka ʻae e hoʻomaka e like me ka mea i hoʻolālā ʻia.

ʻOiai e alakaʻi ʻia ana kēia mau huakaʻi, pono kahi helikopter pilikia e lawe koke i kahi mea i ulia kaʻa i kahi haukapila. Ua hoʻouna ka pilote helicopter i kahi noi no ka UAS Volume Reservation (UVR) kahi mākaʻikaʻi i hoʻohana ʻia e haʻi aku i nā mea hana drone kokoke i ka pilikia.

Hoʻouna hou ʻia nā hoʻopuka a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka UVR. Ua hoʻomau ʻia ke aʻo ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu, ka nānā ʻana i ke kahua a me ka uhi ʻana o ka ʻaha me ka palekana mai ke ala o ka helikopter.

Ua hana ʻia kēlā me kēia hana me ka hakakā ʻole.

ʻO ka hōʻike ʻelua, ka mea i pili i ka Northern Plains UAS Test Site (NPUASTS), i mālama ʻia ma Grand Forks ma Iulai 10.

I ka wā o ka hōʻikeʻike, kahi kokoke i kahi mokulele, ua kiʻi kahi mea paʻi kiʻi a me Part 107 drone operator i nā kiʻi o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ahi. Ua hoʻohana kekahi haumāna mokulele ma ke Kulanui o North Dakota i kahi drone e ʻimi no ka wahi tailgating maikaʻi loa. ʻO kekahi mea hana ʻo Part 107, i hoʻohana ʻia ma ka hui uila, hoʻohana i kahi drone e loiloi i ka pōʻino o ka laina mana ma hope o ka makani ikaika.

Ua hoʻouna nā mea hana ʻelua o ka ʻāpana 107 i nā hoʻolālā mokulele ma muli o ko lākou kokoke ʻana i kahi mokulele, e loaʻa ana nā ʻae kūpono. I ka wā o kā lākou mau huakaʻi, ua loaʻa iā lākou kahi mākaʻikaʻi UVR e lawe ana kahi helikopter medevac i kahi maʻi i ka haukapila mai kahi aʻo ahi. Ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea hoʻohana i nā kiʻi o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka drone ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻolaha UVR. Ua hoʻomau ʻia ka nānā ʻana i ka laina mana a me ka lele ʻana ma luna o ka ʻāpana huelo ma kahi mamao palekana.

ʻO ke kolu o ka hōʻikeʻike, ka mea i komo i ka Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS), i hana ʻia ma Las Vegas ma ʻAukake 1.

I ka wā o ka hōʻikeʻike, ua mālama ʻia nā huakaʻi kaʻawale UAS no ka nānā ʻana i kahi papa kolepa ma mua o ka hoʻokūkū, kiʻi i nā kiʻi wikiō o kahi waiwai e kūʻai ʻia ana, a nānā i kahi loko kokoke no nā manawa waʻa.

Ua komo nā mea hana ʻekolu i ka UAS Facility Maps a ua hana pū me kahi UAS Service Supplier (USS) no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻae kūpono e alakaʻi i kā lākou mau mokulele.

Ua ʻā ke ahi ma kekahi o nā hale kalapu papa kolepa. Ua hoʻouna nā mea pane mua i kahi helikopter e hoʻopaʻa i ke ahi. Ua waiho lākou i kahi noi i kahi USS e hana i UVR. Hāʻawi pū ʻia ka ʻike UVR me ka FAA. Hāʻawi ka FAA i ka ʻike me nā puka ākea, e hōʻike ana i kēlā me kēia o nā mea hoʻokele UAS e hele ana ka helikopter puhi ahi i ko lākou wahi lele.

ʻO kēlā me kēia o nā mea hoʻohana UAS, me ka hoʻomaopopo pono ʻia, hiki iā lākou ke pae a hoʻomau i kā lākou hana ma kahi mamao palekana.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka UPP ma ʻApelila 2017 ma ke ʻano he mea koʻikoʻi no ka ʻike ʻana i ka hoʻonohonoho mua o ka ʻoihana a me nā hiki FAA i koi ʻia e kākoʻo i nā hana UAS Traffic Management. ʻO ka nānā ʻana i nā hopena mai nā hōʻikeʻike e hāʻawi i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻopukapuka e pono ai no ka hoʻokō ʻana o kēlā me kēia mea kuleana.

ʻO nā hopena mai ka UPP e hāʻawi i kahi hōʻoia o ka manaʻo no ka UAS Traffic Management i kēia manawa i ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana a e hāʻawi i ke kumu no ka hoʻopuka mua ʻana i nā mana UTM.

ʻO ka hope loa, e wehewehe ka FAA i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoponopono UTM e hana ai nā mea hoʻolako ʻaoʻao ʻekolu i loko.
